It's wonderful to see this post. With leo and you both journaling, the visibility of Perl 6 development will be much enriched.

A small nitpick, lest people stumble into an empty channel -- Pugs's IRC server is irc.freenode.net #perl6, not irc.perl.org. The social atmosphere of freenode is of communication between various language/project communities, which is methinks essential to Perl 6 in general and Pugs in particular.

As for funding, I've said in PA01 that it would be more helpful to donate time to

Lots of details and good points about the whole secrecy thing (took 20 minutes), but then accidentally closed the window and lost it. Crap. So here's the questions in point form. Don't interprate it as agression.

This is a responsibility of all grant recipients, but far to many of them just drop off the face of the planet after the grant is "finished" (it ain't finished 'til ya' tell folks it's finished), even with Ovid's wonderful skills at hounding p

Ponie is progressing, athough progress seems to be stalls then jumps, even when the effort is applied smoothy. A development snapshot was released a couple of weeks ago, announced in Allison's state of the carrot at YAPC::NA. I sent an announcement to the ponie-dev mailing list, and it's also waiting in the use.perl story submission queue [perl.org] for a use.perl editor's tender loving care.
